    It is 8.5" across, about 4" high and weighs 5 lbs. The bottom is flat and polished. Image156.jpg Image157.jpg Image158.jpg Image159.jpg

    What does it do under a UV light? I think Czech rather than Italian.

    There is no fluorescence under UV light.
    I'm inclined to think it's a bit large for an ashtray (8 1/2"). Not that there aren't lots of large ashtrays.

    Not to ignore the above suggestons,s but also look toward Chalet, in Canada. They did a lot with heavy ashtrays, etc.
